My Experience of Self Injury Reviews

My life was great...until I started high school. In year 7 I made plenty of friends but toward year 8 I started to change my style I became what people call EMO. Now when people think of EMO'S they think self harm and stuff like that but I wasn't like that, not then anyway. I didn't like to follow the crowd it just wasn't me and I liked listening ...  Read the complete review

This is a review which I originally wrote for Ciao.co.uk when I first joined in 2006, but has been revised several times, with this on dooyoo (May 2009) being the latest incarnation! This 'review' starts with my personal experiences of self-harm, and then moves on to talk a bit about my self-harm charity work. I will also give ...  Read the complete review

I’ve written a lot of light-hearted jokey-type opinions recently. This one’s going to be different. Don’t say you weren’t warned ;-) I have read quite a few opinions on self-harm recently. It worries me that quite a few of these are written by teenagers and I hope my opinion will help them, as well as any others ...  Read the complete review

Warning: this opinion contains sensitive material and may trigger those who self-harm. This is possibly the hardest thing I have ever written. I thought I was overcoming my self-harm but I'm not sure it is possible to. Years of comments fuelled my self-harm. Not good enough, not slim enough, not pretty enough, not nice ...  Read the complete review

I've always known this category was here. I've always considered writing in it, but I haven't until now. If you saw me, you probably wouldn't think I would self-harm. Even though I'm quite quiet, I don't really show if I'm upset. No one really notices 14 year olds anyway. I have times when I get down, as ...  Read the complete review

Where do I begin, incase you haven?t read it already I wrote an opinion on this under my husbands name, it was before I had the bottle to join dooyoo and if I?m completely honest I was rather depressed at the time. I have been self-harming since I was about 11 years old. Nothing too drastic just the ?regular? banging my head against brick ...  Read the complete review

Yesterday the photos I had taken of me while meeting Slipknot earlier this year arrived back. Memories of what was a really exciting day were brought back,until I looked closer and saw that in the pictures my arms are sliced to pieces and scarred. The feeling I have now is shame,thinking about how it was makes me want to cry. I first ...  Read the complete review

When I was 24 I hit a massive depression - a chequered past reared its head and hit me full on. When I say chequered, I mean everything you can imagine. I went on to prozac and valium, working full time so as not to have time to think, eating laxatives like chocolate and trying to rid myself of something, but not sure what. I ...  Read the complete review

My daughter will be 16 this coming summer. She’s young, beautiful and intelligent but her limbs are covered in the scars of her self inflicted wounds. Her name’s Lise and it was her idea that I should write this op. It all started when she was 13, but I didn’t know about it at the time. She was living with her father, ...  Read the complete review

After reading some of the opinions that have been posted on this subject i felt compelled to tell you about my own experiences. I would first like to state that I and others like me are not mad or weird we have just using an unorthodox way to deal with our problems and emotions. I harmed my self for years, I now know that this ...  Read the complete review

I know that a lot of people say that when a person injures themselves it is for attention or out of self pity, but I'd like you to know my story anyway. I remember the very first time I harmed myself, it was an accident, I was really angry about something and I put my hand through a window, I was crying and upset and I remember ...  Read the complete review

Ok, it all started when I was thirteen. I'd been getting bullied for a number of years, when I decided to change the school I was in, as the bullying had got just too much for me to handle. Great I thought, a new start, I thought I had finally got away from those who hated me. When I was twelve I sterted at a new school, only to ...  Read the complete review

I have read a lot of the ops in this topic, some being so heart rendering that I wish there was something I could do to help, and realised that there was another voice not being heard that loudly, that of the partner of a self-harmer. Well, this is my voice. My wife comes from a background where domestic violence was prevalent and her ...  Read the complete review

Self harm is a difficult concept to come to grips with, both for the sufferer and for those close to them. I self harm and it is something I find hard to talk about with friends or family. I don’t truly understand it and neither do they, so the normal reaction is to either ignore it or to become angry when the harm continues and ...  Read the complete review

I wanted a cuddle, I wanted to be held tightly, but I was all alone, again. I wrapped my arms around myself to ease the pain. My grip tightened. Tightened too much. I wanted to crush my rib cage, it felt so weak and flimsy. I wanted to crush all that is hidden within. In doing so I wanted to crush the pain, the hurt, the memories and the love I ...  Read the complete review

I know at one point this was a lot longer but i have changed it because i wanted to write some other things here instead and have moved what used to be here to another opinion. I don't really know when I started to si (self injure). I remember when I was little always wanted to break a bone. I was constantly headbutting things and ...  Read the complete review

Now i am going to share with all my friends on Dooyoo a secret that i have told nobody since i did it and will never tell anybody face to face because i simply can't explain why it happened. When i was about 14 i was kicked out of the family home because i fought back against a stepfather who used to beat me as all who have read my ...  Read the complete review
